Subject: [GIT PULL] Xen fbdev fixups

Hi Linus,

Here are some small updates to fbdev to make the Xen fbdev driver work 
properly.  The bulk of the change is to make sure we only set VM_IO on 
vmas which actually map device memory, and not set it on plain old 
vmalloc memory.  This is necessary in Xen, because we end up using that 
flag to determine whether the ptes are mapping real machine physical 
memory or guest pseudo-physical memory.

We also do this on the other fbdev drivers which allocate vmalloc 
framebuffers for consistency.

Thanks,
     J
